About Max
Expert Analysis
Todd Haldis | Prep Redzone Scout
Max takes over the starting job this fall for a loaded Middletown squad and looks to really breakout as a top QB in DE. Max is a QB with good size and is a strong armed lefty thrower. An accurate passer across all 3 levels of the passing game, he sees the field well and knows how to get it to his athletes. Max showcases good pocket mobility and awareness. Able to doge rushers, move around the pocket and scramble to extend the play and find open receivers. He is able to get the ball out quick and make all the throws, Max is a dynamic passer with a live arm. Look for Max to put up big numbers this fall in his first full season as a starter & start generating some strong recruiting interest.
Felt great to get on the field with my guys for the first two scrimmages, just another opportunity to keep getting better with the guys! https://t.co/9njZBzRRwp @coachjohnson302 @ZacharyBlum1 @Andy_Villamarzo @tdhald @BrianDohn247 @PRZVicCastillo

Another top QB in the state of DE for the 28 class, Max looks to make his mark this weekend. Assuming he will split reps with Jameson but I see no downgrade in what the Team Debo will be capable with Max at the helm. A lefty QB and a good overall athlete. Max is a backfield creator, able to move the pocket and throws well on the run. With a quick release, Max can get the ball out quick and with good spin. He throws a nice catchable ball and see the field well – can make something happen when it’s not there. Looking forward to seeing Max put his deep ball on display this weekend to evaluate his overall arm strength.

A 2028 quarterback with a high school-ready body, who passes the eye test at 6-foot-1 and 205-pounds. Biggest takeaway on the Southpaw are his excellent fundamentals for this level.
Area for improvement: Carrying out play fakes/post-handoff movement.

Out of the three quarterbacks I saw at practice for the 2024 8th Grade All-Delaware Bowl, I’d say Phipps was the most balanced and varsity-ready of the three quarterbacks. That’s not a knock on the athletic Cam Gardner (listed above) or the beautiful ball of Jameson Bryant (on the Blue Team), but Phipps just is just the most physically ready. Listed at 6-foot-1 and 205-pounds, the size and arm strength check the boxes. Also had very good footwork in his drops, though he wasn’t facing a live rush at practice.
